Songkran Festival badges not working - Update! They are working now!


I'm getting many reports that the Songkran Festival badges are not being awarded and no reports from anyone that got them. Garmin has probably messed up in some way.

I've checked the start and end date for the badges and they are correct, but those dates seems just to be used for making the badges visible in Garmin Connect:

"badgeStartDate":"2021-04-13T00:00:00.0","badgeEndDate":"2021-04-15T23:59:59.0"

My tip is to just continue trying for the next two days. Maybe it will work tomorrow.

Update

I did a test and moved my activities to year 2019 and I got the badges. Year 2020 didn't work since Songkran Festival was cancelled that year due to the pandemic.

Update 2

The badges are working now!

    For people who did activities before it worked... It is possible to export them as fit files, delete original activity and import again. This rewarded me the badge as well.

      It is probably enough to make an edit to them. All I did was to report yet another activity (the 4th) for today and that single activity got two Songkran badges!

    I have done three activities so far today. Did not get a badge for the first one, and saw this posting, and was going to comment that it was the same for me. Before I did, however, I did my other two activities, one after the other, then synced my watch, and was awarded both the first and second badges for my second activity and the third badge for my third activity. No badge for the first activity.

      Great that everything is working now even though the behaviour was a little bit odd. I also got two badges for the same activity.

    Hi Andy,
    I got the 3 badges for 3 activities in 3 days, but last Saturday 2 of them disapeared.
    I still have the 3 notifications in my Garmin connect message box, but not the 2 last related badges.
    Do someone encounter the problem?

      That can happen if you change your country and then make changes to the activities that awarded you with the badges. You should get them back if you change the country to Thailand again and edit the activities.

      Thank you Andy, I'm back now to Thailand; but what do you mean by edit activities?

      What I usually do is that I change the name of the activity or add 1 calorie. I think that if you change the privacy setting for the activity also counts as an edit. I'm not sure if adding a note counts as an edit.

Dance Fitness has arrived

Five new badges are here. Garmin accidentally added them in September but they were quickly removed. In September there were 13 badges so we will probably soon see even more badges added. Garmin has added a new activity type "Dance Fitness" in the Gym & Fitness Equipment category so you can switch to that for all your dance fitness activities. I don't see the new type in Garmin Connect app on Android so it will need to come in an update. In the web it is already there. To add songs for the Mixtape badge you press the lap button. Each lap will add another song. Until we get Dance Fitness on the watches you can log with Cardio and press lap for each song. After save and sync you switch activity type in Garmin Connect to Dance Fitness. Garmin Badge Database Garmin Connect Change country setting
